The 2022-23 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Villarreal lock horns with an impressive Mallorca outfit in an important clash at the Iberostar Stadium on Saturday.
Mallorca vs Villarreal Preview
Villarreal are currently in eighth place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The Yellow Submarines slumped to a narrow 1-0 defeat at the hands of Barcelona in their previous game and will look to bounce back this weekend.
Mallorca, on the other hand, are in 10th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent over the course of their La Liga campaign. The home side suffered a damaging 2-0 defeat against Sevilla last week and will need to step up to the plate in this fixture.
